Owner’s Manual & Safety Instructions
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term ″power tool″ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.
1. Work Area Safety
a.Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
c.Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2.Electrical Safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and match-
ing outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia- tors,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suit- able for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.Use of a RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.

The term residual current device (RCD) may be replaced by the term ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) or earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)
3. Personal Safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facili-
ties, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4.Power Tool Use and Care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c.Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
.02.
Mini Circular Saw
Owner’s Manual & Safety Instructions
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d.Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e.Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f.Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g.Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
5.Specific Safety Rules
a. DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second
hand on auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they
cannot be cut by the Original instructions blade.
b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the
blade below the workpiece.
c. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of
the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the work-
piece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the
operator.
f. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the
.03.
Mini Circular Saw
Owner’s Manual & Safety Instructions
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentri-
cally, causing loss of control.
h. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of
operation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, caus-
ing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
– When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade
stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
– If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge
of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out
of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures
or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
a.Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist
kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with
the blade.
b.When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the
trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a com-
plete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw back-
ward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
c.When restarting a saw in the work-piece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and
check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material.
d.Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
e.Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f.Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before
making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and
kickback.
g.Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The
.04.

protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
6.Lower guard function
a.Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if
lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower
guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be
bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b.Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c. The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge
cuts and compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard by retracting the handle and as
soon as the blade enters the material, release the lower guard. For all other sawing
operations, the lower guard should operate automatically.
d. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw
down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade
to stop after switch is released.

Laser Function
WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser beam, do not deliberately aim the
beam at personnel and ensure that it is not directed towards the eye of a person for
longer than 0.25s.
When you make the line of the cut on the work piece, the laser can help you get
better alignment.
a.Make sure line of the cut on the work piece.
b.Adjust the angle of cut as required
c.Plug in the machine and start the motor
d.When the blade is at its maximum speed (approximately 2 seconds), place the saw
on the work-piece.
e.Switch on the laser from the laser aperture using the laser switch (21).
f.Align the beam with the mark on the work-piece and slowly push the saw forward
using both hands, keeping the red light beam on the mark.

Cutting Methods
Parallel Cut Adjustment
a.Loosen the lock knob of edge guide (12).
b.Slide the edge guide (7) through the slots in the shoe to the desired width.
Abb.7
Mini Circular Saw
Owner’s Manual & Safety Instructions
c.Tighten the lock bolt to secure it in the position.
d.Ensure that the edge guide rests against the wood along its entire length to give
a consistent parallel cuts.
Pocket Cuts
A pocket cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of the work-piece rather than
starting from an outside edge and working inward. Pocket cuts can be very danger-
ous for the novice to attempt because of the need to manually retract the lower
guard and perform a plunge cut which is potential hazardous.
a.Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.
b.Rest the front of the base flat against the work-piece with the rear handle related
so the blade does not touch the work-piece.
c.Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
d.Guide the saw down into the work-piece and make the cut.
: Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cutting. Cutting in
the reverse direction could cause the saw to climb up on the work-piece and back
toward you.
Depth Adjustment
•Unplug your circular saw.
•Loosen the depth clamp lever (17)on the depth guide at
the back of saw.
•Hold the base plate (3) against the edge of the work
piece and lift the body of the saw until the blade is at the
right depth determined by the depth gauge (align the
scale line).
•Secure the base plate(3) by tightening the lever(17).
ATTENTION: Always maintain the correct blade depth
setting. For all cuts the blade depth should not exceed
1/4” below the material being cut. Excessive blade depth
increases the chance of saw KICKBACK.
